Sonnets From Other Lives: Damien & Jaz

-- So whatcha think of that guy over there?
by the window pounding his computer?
--OK--I'll play. He's having an affair
with a cocktail waitress he picked up at Hooters.
--He's a Microsoftie.  He fakes writing code
when really he's engaged in IM sex.
--But the wife hacked his account & now she knows!
--He's packing up to leave.  I'm thinking next
he takes the waitress to a cheap motel.
--Where she hits him up for her kid's school supplies.
--No! We need a murder--some blackmail!
--Must you always make somebody die?
--Sex & violence, babe.  It's my conviction
life is boring.  Always stick with fiction.
